Why would you want that 
But i can post the winners and decks after the tournament tomorrow.
I think Tego said we are excpecting nearly 200 competitors, so I will be home from the tournament around 1:00 in the night GMT+1

I see.
I dunno if she is even going to play. Her brother Khanh is considering not to, at least him.
Well, GL to you and your son. Will have results in ~36 hours.
Your son is Frederik N?

I have always had a dream about crossing the 200 mark, but didn't really think it was possible. I thought we might get really close to it this year - like 180 - but we got 217! It was an awesome tournament.
-From Tego, who continiously worked for 37 hours (with only ONE break - a four hour sleeping break).
Also, my family had a great showing this year, being knocked out only by the winners (Emil being knocked out by Vy, Katharina and Linnea both being knocked out by Mikkel). ^_^

Yes and if you imagine Germany had only 135 players with 2 trips for each agegroup, you did the very very very good job.

Registration started 9 AM Saturday, Finals for Senior were done 2 AM Sunday XD
So loong day.
Update on decks:
Vy Le: Her amazing Scizor EX/Houndoom/Wobbufett thing
Mikkel Lindheim(Yes it's me Finally I won): Metanite with the most amazing tech ever, Gardevoir
Evens Cheung: i think he used a Destiny deck, but I didn't have the time to see him play.

I don't think Vy played Wobbuffet anymore. Her deck now seems to be only Scizor ex and Houndoom, which is what nearly cost her the game against Emil (he picked 5 prize cards really fast because she had no Safeguard anymore). She had _one_ Shuckle UF, though.
Mikkel's Gardevoir won him so many games. It ripped apart Axel's Metagrosses, Katharina's Flygons and more. But on general his deck worked really well and he played amazingly all day long. Congrats!
Evens did play Destiny, but as usual he played his own, unique version which greatly differs from the standard lists.
About the 37 hour thing, here's how it worked:
May 18, 12.30 PM: Tobias/Spug and I start working. We're moving TONS of boxes full of prizes, posters and other stuff from our office to the convention center in the hotel.
May 18, midnight: Tobias and I leave the convention center and start progressing all the newly preregistred players (new players just keep streaming in on the online preregistration) into TOM's players.xml file.
May 19: shortly after 02.00 AM: Tobias and I are finished with preregistration and go to sleep.
May 19, 06.00 AM: We wake up again, get dressed and ready and go back to the convention center.
May 19, 07.00 AM: Judge meeting and other preperationss
May 19, 08.40 AM: We start letting players into the hall, 3 at the time, and do deckchecks, TOM sign-in and deck registrations.
May 19, 12.30 PM: All 217 players are finally enrolled and we start round 1.
May 20, 01.30 AM: The finals of Seniors (by far the biggest group, with over 110 players) is finished, the trophies have been handed out, and we can finally go home to rest.
BTW: Tobias and I were not the only staff members. We had a HUGE staff consisting of about 19 people working on the tournament (judges, head judges, scorerunners, scorekeepers) and such things as Pokémon TFG, Nintendo Wii, Diamond & Pearl DS Sneak Peek, Get Your Photo Taken with Pikachu stands and so on. Everyone did a great job! =)

Great job !!! Not only for these long hours during your National, but also for having developped Pokemon in your country like you have.
217 players don't come from nowhere. It's the result of a hard day-to-day work. :clap:
I see that Vy Le has won in Juniors. Is it the same player as the Vy Trung who's ranked high in the European ranking or is it another Vy ?

Thank you for the nice words, Michel! Tobias and I are working very hard with this game, and I realize now that we've come a long way since when we took over OP in 2003 and Nationals had 28 players in total. I'm so happy to see the results of the hard work, and even more happy to hear that other Europeans are happy for us. ^___^
It's the same Vy. Both Khanh and Vy (yes, she's his sister) have about a billion different ways of writing their names, and I have no idea what the "official" or "legal" one is. XD Maybe I should look at their passports once!

its really nice to see those open nats.
unlike Brazil, cuz we have closed one.
24 players for masters is just like... no words to explain that.
i really expect next year we have an open one, then we could have more than 200 players easily =]
congrats again.
I'm really excited to see many of you in hawaii ^^
